Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 470

Maja had secretly transferred her 35% stake to Zoey.

This sneaky move was part of her grand scheme. If the EverBest Group got wind of it, they'd definitely smell a rat during the contract signing, knowing the shares came from her.

Honestly, Maja was playing with fire since there wasn’t anyone else she could trust apart from Zoey at the moment.

If Zoey ran off with the shares, it would be for naught. Maja had another important contract with Samuel Brown, but she hadn't spilled the beans about it yet.

The EverBest Group was going loco over this 35% stake news, and someone immediately filled Carlene in.

"Ms. Shepard, if we can get this 35% stake, it means we've successfully taken over the Neilian Group. You'd be the new head honcho, and they'd all dance to your tune."

Carlene was practically buzzing with excitement. Ian hadn’t sent anyone to help her; she just hired two consultants.

But these two were super efficient. They had already snapped up 16% of the shares, and now another 35% was being dangled in front of them.

Carlene was grinning like a Cheshire cat, itching to get back at Maja for making her look like a fool!

She took a deep breath and asked, "What's the catch?"

"Well, the price tag's a bit steep—double the original. To get all of it, it's going to cost around 200 million bucks."

Carlene frowned. That was a lot of dough.

She'd just splashed out 60 million on a painting, only to become a laughing stock when it turned out to be a fake. Now, everyone was saying Herbert was right for not falling for her. She couldn’t tell a real painting from a fake one.

She was pissed as hell. All because of that woman, Maja! She was hell-bent on taking down the Pennyfeather family.

Once she's done with the Pennyfeathers, she was going after Penny.

Ian was acting all weird last night, especially when Penny was about to kiss Samuel. He looked like he was green with envy, which made Carlene feel uneasy.

Then there was what Rita said about Ian coming out of that woman's room. Even though he explained, since when was Ian ever that considerate?

Once the seed of doubt was planted, it started to grow.

"Ms. Shepard, that person sent another message. If we don't agree, she'll sell the shares to Maja."

Sell to Maja?

No way!

Maja already owned 30% of the shares. If she got more, no one else’s stake would be bigger than hers. She'd call the shots, and all Carlene's efforts would be for nothing.
